THE STORY:

Hi everyone!

This year, I am so honored and excited to be raising money for Free to Run, an NGO that uses running, fitness, and adventure to empower and educate women and girls from conflict-affected communities where repressive gender roles have prevented girls from playing sports, exercising, or sometimes even leaving their homes.

This November I will be running the 2016 TCS New York City Marathon and raising funds for programs in Afghanistan and Hong Kong. I will be training for the New York City marathon while raising money and I could use YOUR help and support! Your donation to Free to Run will help provide athletic equipment and programs to refugee communities in Hong Kong and after school curriculums in Afghanistan. Every penny counts and your help will go to an amazing cause!

No matter the sport, we all know the power that sports has to inspire confidence and provide us with the opportunity to learn, grow, and have fun. We believe every girl should grow up benefitting from these opportunities.
